I’ve wanted to get into strength training for a while now but it’s always felt very intimidating. With no idea where to start or if what I’m doing is the “proper” way. Coming to TNT Strength has been the BEST decision I could have made for myself.Eric has been an amazing trainer! He listens to my concerns and works with me to create a plan that works for my lifestyle. So supportive in helping me reach + exceed the goals I’ve set for myself. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and the progress makes me feel so good physically and mentally!
Truly, the best of the best. Do you want professional professionals and a great environment than TNT strength is the place to be.
Great team of professionals would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for the best of the best.
Great atmosphere, and amazing people. I been working with Trainer Eric for 2 months and I feel amazing and stronger everyday.
Love TNT. I feel stronger and healthier ever since I joined. The trainers are all smart regarding body science and their approach emphasizes this knowledge. I feel welcomed every time I walk in the gym. They have been able to make the workout accommodate an injury I have without missing a beat. They push me to my limit and it feels great. Anyone looking for a place to workout that’s encouraging, smart, fun, and based in science, TNT is the place to be.
Have been training with Ryan at TNT for three months. He is a great coach: encourages and challenges at the same time; knows what to say to improve my technique. I am stronger and my body feels better since I started working with him.
Running, boot camp, and yoga kept me feeling healthy and fit through my thirties. Then came my forties when my metabolism and energy changed, and I started suffering multiple injuries. After it was suggested I look at Dr. Stacey Sims' approach to fitness for women 40+, I realized I needed support to learn to weight train the way she was suggesting. I googled "max strength gyms" to see what the options were close by with this approach. TNT popped up and that's how we met! As others have noted, the space is bright and clean, and the vibe is upbeat, kind of a Cheers of gyms. My trainer Ryan is friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging as I work to find my groove in this new style of strength training. After 6 weeks, I already feel stronger and more like myself, and the InBody machine available at the gym validates that muscle and fat are trending in the desired directions. I'm thrilled to have found TNT in my neighborhood for my own health. As a naturopathic doctor, it's also invaluable to have a trusted gym and great trainers to share with patients where I am confident they will learn to lift safely with long-term wellness in mind. Thank you guys!
I feel great in my body and about myself! 30-minutes, twice a week and you're done! Highly recommend TNT Strength for results with efficiency! My trainer is Ryan and I adore him! What I like most about him that's different than other trainers I've worked with in other gyms before, is that he is paying attention to every rep! He is locked in to knowing how much weight should be loaded, pushing me to the limit, and I get the benefit of getting stronger in 1 hour a week. The whole team is top-notch: Liam, Jesse, Eric, and Ryan! I leave the gym saying, BOOM BABY!
I’ve been training with Eric for the past few months, and the progress I've made has been incredible! When I first started, I had specific goals in mind—building strength, improving my overall fitness, and enhancing my energy levels. Eric listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve and developed a personalized plan that kept me both motivated and challenged.Eric's approach goes beyond just physical training. He truly understands the importance of mindset and nutrition in reaching fitness goals, which has been a game-changer for me. His knowledge, patience, and ability to adapt the program to my needs kept me focused, and he always found ways to push me further than I thought possible. I’m now lifting heavier, feeling stronger, and more confident than ever.
TNT has amazing trainers, my trainer Eric is very insightful and welcoming
I recently visited TNT Strength Gym and had a great experience. Ryan, one of the trainers, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He took the time to assess my goals and pointed out key areas I should focus on to strengthen my legs. His guidance was clear and practical, and I left feeling confident about how to improve my workouts. Highly recommend Ryan and TNT Strength for anyone looking to up their fitness game!!*Motivation alone isn’t enough—discipline is what drives you to achieve greatness! 💪🏽
Great trainers! I’ve noticed a big difference in my personal physique goals ever since starting strength training. Cant thank them enough. They’re all very welcoming and supportive!
I love these guys. I'm always cheerfully greeted. Eric is helping to strengthen my knee after a total knee replacement surgery. They give great encouragement to improve myself!
Love this gym! Great manager, staff, and workout opportunities. Their 30 minute training sessions are a killer! Highly recommend.
Really great start for a newbie - listened to what I wanted and we're very knowledgeable about getting me there.
Great experience here at TNT Strength. The place is clean and has all the tools that I need to work out. Staff here are very friendly especially Ryan who takes his time to teach you and how to do how properly used equipment. He’s very knowledgeable and very confident in what he does I strongly recommend him as your trainer.
I’ve had amazing experiences at TNT Strength! The trainer Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly care about helping to reach my fitness goal . The workout are effective & efficient & tailored to individual needs . I’ve seen significant progress in both my strength & overall health and This facility is clean, well-equipped & the atmosphere is always welcoming . I highly recommended TNT Strength to anyone looking to improve their fitness with expert guidance!
The trainers at TNT are some of the best in the business, they know exactly how much to push and what parts of the body to target with the workouts, I would highly recommend TNT strength to my friends and family!
Been working out with the TNT Strength team for a few months now. The growth I've experienced under their guidance and direction has been phenomenal. I'm especially grateful for the support of my coach, Eric Fong, who has pushed me to levels I never dreamed I could achieve. Thanks, guys! Boom Baby!!
I've had an incredible experience at TNT Strength Training on College Ave! Their approach to personal training is rooted in science, which means you’re not just working out—you’re training smarter and more efficiently. If you’re serious about maintaining a healthy mind and body, ask for Liam. He is incredibly knowledgeable and can guide you through everything you need to know to stay on top of your game. Whether you're looking to improve your physical fitness or gain a deeper understanding of how your body works, Liam is the go-to expert. Highly recommend TNT Strength Training for anyone who wants to see real results!
Liam, Jesse and Eric are knowledgeable trainers and helped me achieve my goals. They make training fun.
Though I'm not officially one of his customers, I've gotten some great advice from Liam regarding the value of strength/resistance training, along with recommendations on home gym equipment that I might consider purchasing. Liam is super knowledgeable and passionate about all things strength training related!
Liam is a knowledgeable personal trainer who offered convenient online workout sessions. He also helped my fitness journey by suggesting intermittent fasting.
I’ve had such a positive experience training with TNT strength over the past few months. The team of trainers at TNT are so friendly and personable. They really help keep me motivated to reach my fitness goals. The workouts we do are fun as well as challenging. What’s more is they are always switching things up to keep things fresh and never stale. Plus, they do a great job tracking your progress, so you can focus on pushing your body to the limit. Their pricing scale is very reasonable and they don’t lock you into long term contracts, which can’t be said for a lot of other fitness programs. I highly recommend checking them out!
Over the past several months, I had worked mostly with Eric and Ryan, who are both dedicated, excellent and encouraging trainers. They’ve pushed me to way beyond what I could possibly do on my own, and I feel that I have the muscle tone and increased strength to show for it. The 30-minute workouts, although increasingly tough, are well designed and are all over just when I think I’m about to call it quits (in actuality, that’s exactly how workouts should end up)! I can see the dedication, long hours, and hard work that all the trainers (Liam, Jesse, Eric, and Ryan) put in, and I appreciate the light, cheerful energy (and great music) that they pump into the gym.
At the beginning of 2024, I received a shocking diagnosis of severe osteoporosis at age 58. I then learned that in order to strengthen my bones I must build more muscles. I had many criteria when I was searching for a trainer: the workouts must be effective (I was looking for progressive HIRT - High Intensity Resistance Training), must be located near home and in a safe neighborhood with easy parking, 1:1 training so I can strengthen my fragile bones safely without fracturing them, have a way to track progress, is not prohibitively expensive and possibly have some fun while doing it. 4 months into training twice a week, I will say TNT has met all my criteria, except maybe the “having fun” part. I have never trained with a trainer before and getting pushed repeatedly to fatigue physically is really far from my idea of fun but Liam sure tries to make the sessions interesting by switching up the training routines from day to day and I really appreciate his effort. The best part is the way the sessions are limited to 30 minutes – it’s over as you truly begin to feel the pain and burn. All the trainers at TNT are very easy going and nice yet professional and they cultivate a very positive environment. They chart your progress diligently on their ipads throughout your workouts and they have an InBody scanner to track your body composition changes. I feel empowered by the soreness after each session and encouraged by the InBody scanner showing I’m gaining muscles and losing fat. I’m determined to keep going and believe that the trainers at TNT can help me progress.
I've been on a fitness journey for a while, but working with Ryan at TNT Strength has truly transformed my experience. Ryan has a fantastic way of breaking down complex workouts into simple, understandable steps, which has been a game-changer for me, especially with mastering my form. His positive attitude and enthusiasm make every session enjoyable, and I always look forward to our workouts. In just a short time, I've seen incredible progress, and I’m excited to continue my fitness journey with Ryan and TNT Strength.
I highly recommend TNT Strength for their outstanding service! The 30-minute sessions are perfect for my busy schedule, providing a comprehensive workout that leaves me feeling energized. Eric and the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and create effective workouts. One time, after a tough session, Eric noticed I was feeling down and took the time to talk with me about my goals and progress, giving me the motivation I needed to keep pushing forward. The atmosphere is supportive and motivating, ensuring proper form and technique. Since training at TNT Strength, I've seen incredible progress and couldn't be happier. If you want real results in less time, look no further than TNT Strength. Trust me, you won'tbe disappointed!
Trainers are excellent and friendly! Been noticing major progress and improvement during my 30 minute sessions with Ryan, he’s been so supportive and encouraging. Love the atmosphere and would definitely recommend!!
If you’re looking for a transformative and effective personal training experience in Oakland, look no further than TNT Strength! As someone who has always been hesitant about joining a gym due to the typical negative aspects (think dark, sweaty, dirty, and smelly environments), TNT was a breath of fresh air—literally! The space is bright, airy, and impeccably clean, making every visit a pleasant experience.One of the standout features of TNT is the efficiency and effectiveness of their 30-minute sessions. Unlike traditional gyms where you might spend hours wandering around without direction, here, every minute counts. The trainers and coaches are phenomenal. They understand fitness goals and tailor each session to ensure progress. In just a month, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my core, back, and neck strength—crucial areas as I get older.What truly sets TNT apart is the personalized attention and the welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. They are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success. Plus, there’s ample street parking nearby, which is a huge bonus in the Bay Area.If you’ve been on the fence about starting your fitness journey, I highly recommend giving TNT Strength a try. You’ll be amazed at the results and the supportive community you’ll find here.
The personalized programs are top notch and the encourage to push myself beyond my limits is second to none
TNT is awesome. 2 - 30min workouts a week. Get to my whole body. I can feel myself getting stronger in a short amount of time. I love how they track progress. It's super safe and efficient!Highly recommend!
Attentive personal training with a difference. Friendly, competent and encouraging staff.
I love the approach at TNT Training. They follow science-based approaches, not fads. Workouts are optimized for 30 minutes so they are super efficient and they work great for busy folks. I'm coming up on 3 months training with them twice a week, and I feel stronger and healthier. On top of all of that, my coach Eric is friendly, knowledgeable, and is able to challenge me every time. All in all, it's a great experience!
The team here is exceptional. They have a unique and science based system for strength training and a fantastic attitude. You'll work hard and have fun while doing it!
Before joining TnT, I believed that running more and adding sprints to my routine would make me a better runner. However, after joining TnT, I realized that weightlifting was also a crucial missing ingredient for my running and overall performance. I have seen a significant improvement in my runs, especially when tackling hills. I appreciate TnT's "Truth not Trends" approach to training, and I love that I can complete my twice-a-week workouts in just 30 minutes. Thank you, TnT, for helping me improve my training and performance!F.P.
Great service! Super efficient so if you are busy and barely have a spare minute this is the gym for you. I often go in feeling tired and worn out from a long work day in front of a computer and always walk out feeling better.
Definitely feel stronger after 6 months. Sessions are short but extremely impactful especially if your mind stay present and committed. Would recommend.
I am sore! But in a great way! I have done various workouts in the last 20 years - and never really thought about strength training and how critical it is for overall health. The more I read about it benefits, the more I see this as THE most valuable tool for well being. The coaches are amazing and top notch! My coach Eric refuses to hear my grumbles (that weight is too heavy! i can't give you one more rep! but then he somehow gets it out of me!) He pushes me, harnesses my potential, and moves me beyond my limitations. He is encouraging, non-judgmental and sincere in wanting to get you to be your best and be strong. The rest of the coaches are great, funny, encouraging, and supportive. The workouts are never the same, never stays in your comfort zone, and truly results oriented. I like the small studio, has an intimate, personalized experience, great choices of music, and the equipment is clean and not outdated. I wish I started strength training years ago, never too late and really happy I found this place!
I just turned 80 years old - I never imagined I could do strength training!But, under Jesse’s guidance and careful (but encouraging) approach - I’m feeling stronger and younger (yep) than I did 20 years ago!!! Join now - you won’t regret it!
Liam and Jesse run a top-notch facility that provides safe, time-efficient and VERY effective strength training. The emphasis is on personal attention, every single rep is supervised to make sure you get the best possible results for your investment. If you live in the bay area and want to get and stay strong without getting hurt or wasting time, you need to go to TNT Strength Oakland.
Great people who know what they are doing and help deliver safe efficient training. Whenever I am over in the USA they are my first port of call.
I can't praise TNT Strength enough for their outstanding service! From the moment I stepped into their studio, I knew I was in for something special. The 30-minute sessions are an absolute game-changer for anyone with a busy schedule like mine. In just half an hour, I get a comprehensive workout that leaves me feeling energized and accomplished.What sets TNT Strength apart is their unwavering commitment to a science-based approach. Every workout is meticulously designed to optimize results, utilizing the latest research in exercise science. It's clear that the trainers here (who have decades of cutting-edge training experience) truly understand the mechanics of the human body and how to push it to its limits safely and effectively.Moreover, the atmosphere at TNT Strength is second to none. The trainers are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and motivating. They push me to reach new heights while always ensuring proper form and technique.I've seen incredible progress since I started training at TNT Strength, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a personal training service that delivers real results in a fraction of the time, look no further than TNT Strength. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
I have been struggling with getting my fitness journey for quite some time until I started working out at TNT. Eric really helped break down for me on what was necessary to meet my goal. He made it so easy to understand which workouts were needed and what my form should be, especially since that was something I always had difficulty with. He was able to make going to gym fun for me and I look forward to our sessions every week. I have never seen so much progress in such a short amount of time and I can’t wait to continue my fitness journey with TNT.
My fitness journey has never been a smooth one. I have been really on and off, and haven’t seen much progress. But Eric, one of their personal trainers does a really good job of motivating me and lifts my spirit. I have seen a lot of progress thanks to him. Thank you Eric!!!
I’ve been going to TNT for more than two years, and it has been sooo worthwhile. I cannot say the workouts are fun, because they are hard. But what worthwhile in life isn’t? I’m almost 70, and, frankly, my muscles were getting soft. No longer. Without these guys - Brian and Jesse and Liam and Taylor - I wouldn’t feel as good as I do in everyday life and at pickleball. I enjoy going in and joking with them and working out every week, and I recommend them to everyone.
Would highly recommend TNT Strength for personal training! Great facility with top-notch professionals. Hands down the best place to train in Oakland.
TNT's strength training principles are the best way to get in the best shape you can be in. Liam and Jesse are not only super passionate about making sure they keep up on the Truth l, scientific principle around Strength training, they are smart and compassionate and oh yea, fun - An excellent recipe. Stop waiting and get started. You won't regret it!
Great trainers! Great people! Very knowledgeable and these guys are great at getting you results in a safe, efficient and productive manner! This is the place to train in the Oakland area!
These guys truly know what they're doing. Love their sensible time-efficient approach to getting results.
I can’t speak highly enough about TNT. I’ve been training with them for about 7 years. So incredibly knowledgeable and efficient! You get twice the workout in half the time. They have tried every method and every style, so the knowledge they have for exercise, the body, and nutrition is deep and they can find a style that suits your needs. I’ve gotten amazing results with them. If you see them, be sure to ask about POWER FACTOR!
Absolutely a great workout everytime. The trainers have vast knowledge on how to get my muscles working harder and more efficiently, which gives me the results I want.
TNT is an amazing gym for anyone that really wants to commit to their health goals. The facility itself is clean and well maintained, and their machines are unique, different from those in commercial gyms I have been to. They have different programs that really target growth with personally catered regimens, while staying fun and upbeat. Eric was my trainer, and he was motivational and instructive, and I cannot recommend him and TNT enough.
I have nothing but great things to say about TNT. Staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell that they take care of their studio- it is super clean and they have top notch equipment. They also have an InBody Scan which does a full body assessment (body fat %, skeletal muscle mass, water weight, etc). Jesse helps me understand what the numbers on my scan mean, and offers personalized suggestions on how I can improve. You can tell they truly care about you at TNT.
I started with TNT for bone health and tests has shown that my bone density has increased. Strength training does really work but it needs to be done consistently and that's why I go to TNT. Liam and Jesse are great in keeping me on track and of what's needed to be done. They also make it fun. The result is undeniable as friends and family can see I'm stronger and fitter than ever. I also gained stability and with that, confidence to do more vigorous activities without risk getting hurt.
I’ve been coming to TNT since November and have felt so much stronger , I continue to build strength and get challenged in each workout. I highly recommend TNT strength if you’re looking to get a workout that will challenge you each time.
I am an inconsistent person when it comes to practicing sports; I find gyms boring and usually don't last more than a month in any yoga or pilates class. But everything changed when I signed up for TNT! Liam and Jesse are experts in the field and listen to their clients. I feel super motivated to get to my session with Liam, and I am fitter than ever. I never imagined I would like weightlifting! It is also an excellent physical activity for women who want to gain muscle mass and protect their bones. I recommend it 100%! Boom baby!
My wife and I have been members of TNT for about 6 months and are completely thrilled with the experience. Liam and Jessie have a supportive, safe, challenging and fun approach. It's not all hardbodies -- people of all ages and shapes come in for help and the community is wonderful. This is like no other gym experience I've had before -- highly recommended.
TNT is awesome - the trainers are super knowledgeable and very kind, and they do a great job of coming up with exercises that keep you engaged and working hard. I'm really enjoying the small group training classes and don't plan to stop any time soon! Definitely a great option for runners and/or anyone new to strength training - don't be intimidated, it's fun!Edit 2024: we’ve been doing personal training (in person and over zoom) with Jesse, and it’s been fantastic. Highly recommend!!
I did 2 months here with Liam prior to moving away from Oakland, and it’s one of the places I miss the most. Workouts were quick but impactful, and Liam knew how to push me to always try harder. It felt extremely personalized and the small nature of the gym was my favorite aspect.
I have seeing Jesse at TNT for a long time. I am in my 60’s and stronger than I was in my 40’s.Love the TNT training style
Jesse and Liam are amazing! I am surprised at how quickly we are gaining strength.
Love the team and results from TNT strength! Their expertise and science-based approach is second to none. It's been awesome working with Liam and Jesse!
Had an amazing workout with Liam, left feeling like I could barely walk or lift my arms. Exactly what I wanted!😁😁
TNT is great! Working with Jesse, Liam, and their team has helped me gain strength over time. The atmosphere is fun and their workout philosophy works for lots of different levels of fitness.
We moved to Oakland in August and I'm so glad and grateful to have found TNT! The weekly small group workout is a fantastic, challenging, full-body workout. Liam and Jessie are very encouraging and supportive while also pushing me to do more than I think I can. So great!
TNT is a great place to train or get in shape. The machines are top notch and the staff is super knowledgable and nice and eager to work with you on your own personal fitness goals.
I worked with Jesse and have seen significant results both physical and strength. Very friendly and helpful staff overall.
TNT is a great gym. All of the trainers are so kind and the workouts are really effective. I highly recommend this gym if you’re looking for a personal trainer in Oakland.
TNT is the best! Training with Liam has significantly improved my strength, mood, and look in a relatively short time. The model of 30-minute sessions two times per week is ideal for my schedule and Liam is always on time, prepared, and inspiring. I highly recommend TNT. It’s the kind of place you feel lucky you found!
Love this gym and its friendly, knowledgeable staff. Liam pushes me in a way that makes me want to work harder. One day soon I will do my first push-up! Thanks TNT Strength!
I love training at TNT! I've been strength training with Liam since July and feel incredible. I have noticed a change in my physique and muscle tone. They have not only helped me build strength but also given me great pointers with nutrition. Two sessions a week for 30 minutes fits perfectly into my busy schedule. Thank you Liam for helping me build my strength and confidence!
Don’t hesitate to sign up for a session with Taylor at TNT! He creates a very welcoming environment for beginners and modifies each workout to fit you at your pace. It’s been fun to see myself progress at my fitness goals with two short workouts a week, and I plan to keep it up for a while!
Today was my first session with Jesse at TNT Strength and I cannot believe how much I learned about body and how build and maintain strength! The workout was really fast and way easier than I expected- even though he pushed me to my limits on every activity. It turns out I've been going about it wrong for decades, now I'm happy to be resting for at least two days! : ) I feel so excited and empowered with all this new information and support- I cannot recommend Jesse or TNT Strength any more.
TNT stands true to its name. If you are looking for results, look no further! The programs are personally structured, tailored, diverese, efficient and effective. They are also very data driven, which helps you visualize your progress and achieve your goals in an accelerated rate. On top of that, the trainers are all very knowledagble, passionate and supportive of your strenght development. Training at TNT is not easy, you're going to be pushed hard every second and minute of it, but at the end you will get addicted to it, and will want to come back for more results. My trainer Jesse is definitely making sure of this for me! Highly recommend!
I have been training with Taylor at TNT for about 8 months and it has been transformative - not only physically but mentally too! Taylor is personable, knowledgeable and makes each training session fun and challenging. I was hesitant to begin working with a trainer one on one, but it only took a few sessions with Taylor to change my mind. TNT is lucky to have him as part of their team and I would recommend him to anyone looking to begin their journey in the private training to improve strength, fitness & health. Thank you Taylor!
Training at TNT involves two extremely efficient, yet demanding 30 minute sessions a week. Taylor has expertly planned and monitored my workouts, and tracked my progress for over a year. I love the challenge, the variety, the coaching and cheering he provides during each session. I’m stronger across all muscle groups and can continue an active lifestyle at 58 because of it. Thanks Taylor and TNT!
I am new to personal weight training, and feel so lucky to have been introduced to this paradigm of strength building with the warm support, individualized guidance and inspiring expertise of the TNT training team. They are fabulous, funny, kind, and truly embody their philosophy and deep knowledge. Highly recommend them for anyone who is curious about cultivating a new kind of strength practice - the trainers are awesome guides rooting for you to keep achieving what was previously impossible and unimaginable.
I’ve enjoyed working with Taylor the last year, the premises are simple but TNT strength does a good job with variety to keep things simple and encourage you to do the work to build strength and improve fitness.
Exercise can be difficult partly because figuring out what works for you takes effort that most people understandably don't have the bandwidth or time for. At TNT, that problem is solved. You'll get an efficient workout where a trainer gives you *their* full attention and motivation for 30 minutes (don't worry--that will feel longer that it sounds, lol). The TNT crew tracks your stats to see how and when to progress you, all while cheering you on. Their system is clear--and honestly, comforting; I appreciated being able to just focus on the movements while Jesse coached me and threw in a joke when I wasn't sure I could do that last rep. :)If you find strength training mysterious, or you feel fit but want additional gains that you can work into your already packed schedule, try a workout at TNT!
Over the last 4 years ago, I gained approximately 35 pounds and have struggled to get back in shape. I’ve tried working out on my own, but could not keep up with a consistent routine. I finally decided to join TNT Strength about 3 months ago, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. I don’t have a lot of extra time in my schedule with work in mental, sports officiating (referee for basketball and lacrosse), keeping up with home duties, and trying to have a little fun. Taylor has been flexible with my schedule and training at my pace, is supportive, encouraging, pushes me to my limits, and provides valuable information to assist me with reaching my goals. There is never too many people in the gym at the same time, which allows more personal one-on-one focus and we are able to choose our own music while working out. The other trainers, Liam and Jesse are also super welcoming, friendly and supportive. Affordable training sessions in a clean and safe environment with good people, who want to help you reach your full potential and my husband and I are in and out in less than an hour each session. What more could a girl who doesn’t even like to workout ask for?
Best workout regimen of my life - sustainable, productive, affordable, and easy. The team is great. It’s never too crowded. I’m in and out in 30 minutes feeling energized for the rest of my day.
I wanted a strength work out that would be complementary to my running and they designed it for me. I really like being coached at TNT. A 30’ 1:1 work out at TNT is very effective. It is also a friendly andinclusive environment. The trainers are very experienced and supportive.I like that’s it’s super clean, not packed and can pick your music. I will keep going!
So enjoying my first month at TNT fitness! It’s been 30 years since I did strength training (I’m 68). Easy to park, and 30 minutes in and out twice a week - efficient! Nutrition counseling in the package too! I’ll send another review at the end of my 12 week series with results - I know they will be positive!
Only great things to say about TNT. I’ve been working with Jesse for about two months and I’ve definitely gotten stronger. I’m just getting back into exercising after a long time so it’s been important to me that Jesse always takes me where I am with no judgment—only encouragement and support. He pushes me but he knows just how hard to push (and it turns out that I can do a lot more than I ever thought I could!). And throughout, he’s super careful about making sure that I do everything safely. He’s also very knowledgeable so I’ve learned a lot too. When I first reached out to TNT, I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to work with a trainer, but I’m so glad that I went for it. I work primarily with Jesse who is awesome, but Liam and Taylor are great too. Definitely recommend.
I've been going to TNT for a few months now. This is my first experience with a personal trainer and it's been overwhelmingly positive. All the trainers are lovely to work with and extremely personable. They are all fonts of information on fitness and nutrition and will gladly answer questions and share thoughts on best practices and how to approach your personal fitness plan. The gym is always clean and there's never been more than one other client there at any given time, so it always feels very comfortable. Highly recommend!!!
Never much into going to the gym, I look forward to it now that it only takes a half hour! Liam has tailored my workouts to meet my specific goals and needs. Gaining muscle feels good and adds another dimension to a runner’s regimen of regular running. I’m even injured now having rolled my foot and breaking a bone, yet Liam has found ways to still work both legs. I can’t thank Liam, Jesse and Taylor enough for their support, care, and shared knowledge. I highly recommend anyone of any physical ability to give them a try!
Jesse and the team are great at what they do and provide excellent training services for those with a limited amount of time. I also find them to be very knowledgable about fitness, nutrition, and recovery. I highly recommend them for personal training services.
Finally a place where anyone of any age can get a safe, scientific workout with the absolute best trainers in the Bay Area. Best workouts you will find! No bosu!
I wish that I had all the time back that I've waisted on ineffectual training. TNT gives great results with such a minimal time commitment that it's unreal. Seriously worth it.
Great environment! All of the trainers are super welcoming and accepting of anyone regardless of level and experience. Highly recommend.
What attracted me to TNT was the scientific approach to weight training that forms the core of the philosophy of this gym. I've been working out with Jesse for over a year now, and am very happy with the results. I am 65 and have increased my strength tremendously.What prompted me to seek personal training was being on a trip and having a challenge putting my bag in an overhead compartment. I've never had much upper body strength, and it just feels really, really good to have some--and having a bit of muscle definition ain't bad either!It's hard work for sure, but it's made easier by the fact that they collect data and adjust the workouts accordingly. Jesse switches the workouts around using different machines, free weights and isometric challenges to keep it interesting.All four trainers are top notch and the bottom line is that it's fun!
Absolutely love the TNT crew!The training I receive at TNT is based on maximum effort which is a new concept for me but one where I’m seeing great strength results.As a busy working professional, the best part is I get a full body workout in 30 minutes 2x/week. That’s 1 hour/week for strength training, leaving me more time for rest and recovery, spending time with my family and road/e-biking!I can’t imagine training any other way.
Tl;dr: friendly atmosphere, safe training, sophisticated equipment, very knowledgeable trainers!I'm not a regular gym-goer and truthfully am intimidated by most gyms, but I decided to check out TNT Strength after I heard about the many benefits (both short and long-term) of strength training. I've been training at TNT for almost two years now and am happy I took the step to check them out. Their trainers are down-to-earth and make me feel comfortable and safe when I train. They all train in the same style and are very knowledgeable about why they train the way they do, including moving slowly and having the right amount of weight for me. I appreciate that they guide me through each machine and exercise, and also talk to me about the benefits and muscles that are engaged during the movement.I recommend TNT for anyone who is looking to check out a strength training gym where the trainers are truly knowledgeable about what they do (the science behind their method is fascinating!) and where you can train safely in a non-judgmental and friendly atmosphere!
This is the first gym I have joined in my life and this is the first time I have worked out in my life. And I could not have found a better place and a better trainer. I joined end of July, 2022. My goal is to strengthen my core, back, neck and be stronger overall, while taking least amount of time and effort on my part!This is the perfect place for me because:1) having a personal trainer allows me to work out 30 min each time, twice a week, and get results. I started the leg press at 160 pounds and a month later, I am at 240 pounds. That’s 4 hours later basically.2) a gym that is not gross, ie dark, stuffy, smelly, crowded, eeek!3) a trainer (Taylor Jones) who can help you achieve goals without you having to know anything about anything. Just show up and do what you are told.4) because you can’t train there without a trainer, the place is never crowded so it helps if you are a screamer like me.5) there is PLENTY of parking, metered right on College and free in the side street.
Game changers in how you workout. Effective, directed, and efficient training programs that fit my schedule!The trainers are attentive and easy to get along with. The equipment is clean and tidy. Id recommend giving it a try to see what you think!
I’ve been a client of Jesse’s for years now. He is not only a great trainer but a great person overall. All three trainers at TNT, are knowledgeable and will listen to your needs and expectations. My hat goes off to Liam, Jesse, and Taylor for all being part of such a great establishment. Highly recommend this gym.
Liam, Jesse and Taylor are fantastic trainers. They keep me motivated and encourage me to do my personal best. Their gym is conveniently located on College Ave.. It clean and bright and they stagger their clients so that I can usually have the place to myself. If you are looking for training results, you cant go wrong with TNT.
TNT is the bomb! Great atmosphere led by an awesome training staff. I am stronger than I have been in years thanks to these guys!

Jesse helped me to realize I don’t have to spend as much time at the gym. Focusing on one set to failure and pushing myself to increase the amount of weight versus doing tons of reps was a better approach.
Liam is the best personal trainer ever. I’ve been working with him for a year and a half and he’s amazing.
I’m an online client of Liam “Taku” Bauer and I’m here to say I’m a happy customer. If you’re sitting on the fence, hop off and work with Liam. He is badass in so many ways!
I pushed my muscles to muscle fatigue, which was completely different for me, but it showed results like I’d never seen before.
I really enjoyed the way that Jesse kept momentum and high energy through all of our training and made me focus on the most important parts of the workout. So for all you guys out there that are thinking of training I fully recommend it. Jesse is awesome and he can change things for you!
For me it’s a really enjoyable style of training. It’s short, very effective, and it really pushes you physically.
When I met with you in late April I was the biggest I've ever been at 205 and wanted to make a change. Within two weeks of working the program you put me on I was already getting comments from friends and co-workers about how great I look. Now, 6 weeks later, I am down to 185 and still going strong on the program
